I just purchased pcstitch pro, and having a little trouble. I'm sure its and operator problem. I have a picture that I took and imported it. The pattern is so blurry, and not sure how to fix it. Could someone please help me get through this problem. I thought maybe it was the quality of the picture, so I found a picture on the internet and imported that and it was still blurry??? What am I doing wrong.
Thank you

Your problem may be in the selection of the size (number of stitches) for your pattern. Try to make the stitch size the SAME as the pixel size of the image. That will make 1 stitch/pixel. Also, your photo can't be TOO complicated. The more complicated, the harder it is to "pixelate". Another idea is to keep the maximum number of colors relative low. The lower the number of colors, the fewer confetti stitches.

Even the simplest pattern will show up with a LOT of confetti stitches. These have to be handled manually. It's really not difficult. Just play with it and keep checking the original. That's the "art" part of the design work.
